Mormon Pop: American Idol
For the new season, Southern Californian Brooke White got the thumbs up from all three judges after her �I�ve-never-seen-an-R-rated movie� audition in Pennsylvania (the song was �Like A Star�). Watch the clip here.
What makes me wonder how far Brooke has risen in the already-in-progress season is that her former web site is no longer up. A friend of mine is in Brooke�s ward, and he�s been telling me how great she is for several years now. So I check in on her web site from time to time. But now the web site is �under construction.� It might just be a coincidence, but it could indicate that she is �under contract� with the show�s producers or least wanting to spruce up her web site for the increased traffic she�ll be getting.
Local arranger/songwriter Richard Parkinson has been working with David for a couple years. Here they are doing Oh Holy Night. Parkinson says, �I met his dad in a Sam's Club in Murray no kidding and immediately began to put together a few Christmas songs for his performances in 2005. I was totally blown away. I really could not believe he was this good. But he is, and I took every opportunity to just be around his amazing talent. Besides that, I believe he is a better person than he is a singer, if you can believe that!�
Both of these singers can SING! So stay tuned. We�ll see how far they rise.
